Hope

Off to Bipartisan Cafe for breakfast & inauguration-watching w/the locals. Today also holds walking/wandering down and up Hawthorne, pizza at Apizza Scholls, taking 1annie1 to PDX, and packing for my week away - I leave in just over 24 hours.

Good Choice

Being here w/150 or so people (packed wall-to-wall at Bipartisan Cafe), the energy and hope are HIGH and MARVELOUS! Applause, exhilaration...good stuff! There're balloons, streamers, and somebody's passed out tons of noisemakers.

I Love the Smell of Black Powder in the Morning

POP goes the party poppers!

Meanwhile, I say prosecute the torturers and those who made it so.

Off Again

Seems like a while since I've taken off on a trip. (Travel within the PacNW hardly counts ;-) Leaving o'morrow morning, gone for a week. Off-line mostly, 'specially the latter half. Later, 'gators!
